Management of Benign Biliary Stricture
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1980A description of our current approach to management of benign biliary strictures is presented with emphasis on the importance of preservation of ductal blood supply during reconstruction. Although we have repeatedly stressed the primary importance of prevention of these injuries by a carefully performed cholecystectomy, the frequency with which ...

Benign Biliary Strictures and Leaks
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2015The major causes of benign biliary strictures include surgery, chronic pancreatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and autoimmune cholangitis. Biliary leaks mainly occur after surgery and, rarely, abdominal trauma. These conditions may benefit from a nonsurgical approach in which endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) plays a pivotal ...

Stenting for benign esophageal strictures
Endoscopy, 2009Benign esophageal strictures are a common problem in endoscopic practice. The predominant symptom of patients is dysphagia. The initial treatment option for a benign esophageal stricture is dilation. A subgroup of strictures, i. e., those that are long (> 2 cm), tortuous, and have a narrow diameter, tend to recur and are therefore called refractory ...

Bile duct strictures can prove to be an extremely difficult diagnostic problem. The majority of Benign bile duct strictures (80%) are unfortunately iatrogenic, the injury occurring after a routine laparoscopic (incidence 0.4-0.6%) or open (incidence 0.2-0.3%) cholecystectomy.

Advances in surgery, 1977
For the treatment of esophageal strictures caused by reflux, dilation alone is rarely curative, as a reflux is not prevented. Standard antireflux repairs are the 1st procedures to be used whenever possible. If esophageal damage and shortening is more severe, the Collis gastroplasty operation coupled with an antireflux repair is effective, but the ...

Benign Strictures of Anorectum
2016Nondistensible narrowing of the anal canal is known as anal stenosis. In low strictures the normal upside-down funnel-shaped configuration gets reversed with the diameter of the anal canal being greater than that of the anal verge. The stricture may be a true anatomic one or functional secondary to muscle spasm.
